Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Decided I would post speeds on our Caribbean a TransAtlantic Cruises. All tests are using the Premium WiFi. First up I will post T-Mobile speed using 5G 4/15/2923. 5:00 PM. Departing Port. Everglades. I’m running Express VPN on a mini router for my Roku and really slows things down. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted April 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Let us know what it looks like if you are more than about 250 miles from land so no direct Starlink access. Can you get a speed test on the internet speed for both services? The difference will be interesting. My new Samsung had similar speeds about 30 miles offshore in Cabo. Gotta love TMobile for travel.

We are at sea all day tomorrow on way to Belize. it should be a good test day. While it doesn’t look that fast I am able to stream YouTube TV without any buffering. I have a Zoom call later so will be a fun test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted April 16, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I knew you said you would be posting the speeds but I kept looking for them in your live review. Glad I found this. Wondering which way, separate thread or combined with live review, is preferable as I was planning to do something similar for on our upcoming cruise, Panama Canal East to West.

I thought I would do a separate so it isn't all mixed together in post. That way people only interested in Internet speed can have a single source. Fell free to post you speeds here also. When I was on Solstice in December right after they fired it up I was getting some incredible good speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you may recall we will be on Millie going the East to West Panama Canal transit starting this Friday. I will try and remember to do at least one test daily, when we are at sea.

Great. Could be an interesting resource Belize 4:30 am. So probably not many on the internet. Speeds are pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haynesra Posted April 18, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Looks like they are capping speed at 5 Mbps given likely hardly anyone online at 4:30. Considering I never got above 1 Mbps on Solstice pre-starlink, not bad overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was on Solstice the day the went live in December I was optimistic we would see the same speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 18, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Just some more speed tests. This is TMobile free internet roaming. All they had in Cozumel was LTE speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haynesra Posted April 19, 2023 #16 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Wow 249 Mbps would be awesome!!! Well you know the system is capable of high speed. But then they have to go and limit it 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 19, 2023 Author #17 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Cancun, Mx speeds in port are slower but lots if ships side by side. Possibly blocking signal. Even with this speed am easily able to send pictures. Downloading of files, even a small Apple app can take five minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 19, 2023 Author #18 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Leaving Cozumel suddenly the internet is terrible At 3:37 Maybe everyone is back onboard and sending emails and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 19, 2023 Author #19 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) 5:39 out of Cozumel Pretty sure it’s not users - the details often help understand slow internet Specifically 26% packet loss is terrible. latency 72-240 not good Jitter is wide also really wide Edited April 19, 2023 by Jim_Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haynesra Posted April 20, 2023 #20 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Definitely not good at 26% loss. Well hopefully back to normal soon. We were on a NCL cruise in December and went without any internet for probably 30 to 40% of the time during the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 20, 2023 Author #21 Share Posted April 20, 2023 4/20/2023 Packet loss has improved but speed have remained low. last night just before midnight this morning at 7:26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
